Calling for Queensland natural disaster records

The State Library is calling for residents to help record the events of the 2011 floods and Cyclone Yasi for future generations. Members of the public can help by contributing their images, videos, links to tweets, blog entries or websites they found useful during the crises, as well as other related ephemera, such as flyers distributed at the evacuation centres, posters and placards.

State Library of Queensland experts are reminding cyclone-affected Queenslanders not to throw out their precious memories as they begin to put their lives back together. The State Library’s fact sheet - Salvaging Water Damaged Collections - offers simple, home based solutions for preserving books, documents, photographs, films, tapes, and digital media.
